Why use a Work At Home Directory? Well, it's simple really: A Work At Home Directory is the best Internet resource for finding a legitimate work at home opportunity. If you wanted to find a phone number you would consult the telephone directory so, if you are looking for a chance to work at home, a Work At Home Directory is the logical place to start.
The Internet is bursting with work at home opportunities of all kinds and it would be very time consuming to attempt to investigate these work at home opportunities by making separate searches for "Work At Home", "Home Job", "Home Based Business", "Internet Work At Home" etc. If you are looking for a work at home opportunity, you can make one search for "Work At Home Directory" and from that search you will have access to a whole list of Work at Home Directory websites each of which will offer you a choice of numerous different work at home opportunities.
By the way, if you are a newcomer, you might not realise it, but placing your search term inside quotation marks as shown here means that the search results will be more relevant. For instance if you search for Work At Home Directory without quotation marks you will get lots of other things you don't want such as links to directories for things that have nothing to do with work at home.
Make sure any Work At Home Directory you use is free. There are a few websites that claim to be Work At Home Directory sites that ask for payment in order to provide work at home information, avoid these, there is no reason to pay for information about work at home opportunities when you can get the same information free of charge.
If you don't really know what type of work at home opportunity would suit your circumstances, help is normally available at a good Work At Home Directory in the form of advice, articles and reviews relating to individual work at home programmes as well as topics about work at home generally. When you visit a Work At Home Directory, you will often have the chance to subscribe to one or more free newsletters. These newsletters might be on the subject of work at home in general or specific types of work at home programmes or related topics such as computer anti-virus precautions, free resources or blogging to name just a few examples. The free research you can carry out via the Work At Home Directory's articles or newsletters will be of considerable help to you in locating a suitable work at home opportunity. A good Work At Home Directory will welcome you to visit its article archives or subscribe to its newsletter and, by doing so, you will not be placed under any obligation to buy anything or join any work at home programme.

When you land directly on a work at home opportunity's website, you will be strongly encouraged to join the programme there and then. The encouragement to make an instant decision might take the form of an annoying pop-up or the offer of a bonus or reduced membership fee in return for immediate sign up. This is, of course, perfectly understandable: the work at home opportunity websites are in competition with each other. The Work At Home Directory, however, will permit you to examine the features of all its listed opportunities without any pressure to sign up. A legitimate Work At Home Directory will suggest you make return visits whilst deciding which work at home opportunity might be most suitable for you.

1. A reduction in the number of tedious searches you have to undertake.
2. A selection of varied work at home opportunities grouped in one place.
3. Access to impartial advice and reviews of work at home programmes.
4. Access to work at home related resources all in one place.
5. No arm twisting to sign up for a work at home programme without having time to think it over and make an informed decision in your own time.
These are five very good reasons why using a Work At Home Directory is worthwhile but number 5 is my favourite. This is partly because I don't like hard sell tactics but mainly because the decision to work at home can be either the best decision you ever make or a huge disappointment. You have to "plan to succeed" when you work at home and the planning and consideration stage should be allowed to take up as much time as you need so that you find the work at home opportunity that is exactly right for you.
